Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture is comfortable and relaxing. It leaves you with a sense of well-being and contentment. Many people are surprised to have such a pleasant experience with acupuncture and look forward to the next treatment.​The Chinese developed the theory of acupuncture points and channels over 2000 years ago. They were incredibly nuanced and accurate in their understanding of physiology. At first, Western science had difficulty with the concept of Qi because it was thought to be a mysterious form of energy. This was due to poor translation from Chinese to English. Qi is actually a term meaning "intelligent and organized metabolism." Acupuncture channels are now understood to encompasses multiple signalling pathways in the body, including chemical, neural, hormonal and bio-electrical modalities. These explain why a point in the leg can improve digestion, immunity and fatigue all at the same time. Truly, Western science is just beginning to catch up to the depth of understanding Chinese Medicine has had for thousands of years.

"Scott is amazing at his craft. He adds a strong intuitive ability to his wisdom and experience which always gives powerful healing and results!" -CM

"Scott treated me for severe neck pain, debilitating daily migraines and asthma for over a year. His professional drive, intuition and investigative mindset drove him to refer me for additional testing which uncovered structural issues requiring medical interventions in addition to acupuncture. Scott assisted in finding the appropriate physicians, services and medications I needed which helped immensely in my non-functional and overwhelmed state. With continued acupuncture my headaches and pain are almost absent!

Scott is an excellent listener as well as a holistic practitioner, meaning he addressed me as a whole person not just a set of symptoms and also treated other issues as they came up. Scott is extremely kind, compassionate, tenacious and intuitive which led to superior care. His patience in treating my seemingly endless pain gave me hope and strength to get through yet another day or two. Scott encouraged my active participation in my treatment from talking about needle placement, other pain management strategies, ways to reduce stress, coping strategies, and seeking other resources when needed. The office staff is top notch; organized, efficient, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Scott Blunk for pain management and overall health." -LP, Fort Collins, CO
